A mainstay in the life of many a student dancer, the European Tournament for Dancing Students is a semi-annual social Latin/Ballroom tournament. These days the tournament regularly serves the dancing (competition and social party), food and sleeping needs of 500 to 700 student dancers. Do you want to experience this?

As far as the level of dancing is concerned. If you’ve followed about 20 Latin/Ballroom lessons you’ll be able to compete in the lowest of 4 classes, the Amateurs class. With more experience you’ll be able to place yourself for the higher classes such as Professionals, Masters and Champions. In these you’ll be expected to dance with more technique and dance additional dances such as Samba, Viennese Waltz, Slowfox and Paso Doble. When you are nearing competition level you’ll register in the open class, where dedicated competition dancers battle it out for first place.
